063 | "At Delvine or Inchtuthill, on a square area Steep on all Sides, and elevated about 50 feet above the surrounding plain, are traces of a Roman Station 500yds. [yards] square. This seems to have been one of the stations which Agricola established at the foot of the Grampiains, but not the place which he encamped before his engagement with Galgacus, The walls were nine and a half feet in thickness, built with stones from a quarry about two miles distant. (Wester Gourdie.) The stones have been gradually removed and the walls are now almost levelled with the plough, In the course of ploughing fragments of weapons have been found" * At present the fortifications have more the appearance of earthen embankments. The Rampart and ditch on the south side are entire, except at the south east angle, a portion of which was levelled when forming a vegetable garden now also removed A ditch is now the only remains of defence on the east side. the north was defended by a natural slope. The embankment on the west side can only [be] traced by the assistance of a right angle off the south west corner and a slight swell in the ground above the general level of the field * Statistical & Geographical Acct.
